For more than 85 years, Genkem has supplied adhesives, coatings, polyurethane systems and specialist chemical technologies to manufacturers, contractors and industrial users across Southern Africa.<\/p>

From furniture, footwear and packaging to cold rooms, sports surfaces and automotive components, Genkem technologies form part of thousands of products and projects encountered every day.<\/p>

While our expertise spans water-based adhesives, solvent-based systems, hot melts, polyurethanes, elastomers and coatings, our customers do not buy chemistry. They buy solutions to manufacturing, installation and performance challenges.<\/p>

For this reason, Genkem\u2019s industries are structured around the markets we serve rather than the technologies we manufacture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
